Welcome to the VMware Bare Metal Automation (BMA)™ for VMware Telco Cloud Platform ™ documentation page.

About VMware BMA

VMware Bare Metal Automation™ (VMware BMA) for VMware Telco Cloud Platform™ is a bare metal provisioning tool, readying servers for operating system installation. VMware BMA bootstraps the server and installs the necessary software and firmware (BIOS and hardware) for VMware Telco Cloud Automation to start its infrastructure and CaaS automation processes.

For VMware Telco Cloud Platform customers, VMware BMA now completes the journey to realize end-to-end network automation—from initial zero-touch provisioning to supporting network services and network slices.
